so yesterday, of course, governor romney was in ohio. congressman ryan was here in virginia. and then in just a little bit, alex, we're going to jump on this plane behind us and head down to florida where he's got a rally planned, congressman ryan does, in the tampa-saint pete area. they want to get back on message talking about the economy. that is their biggest weapon against the president at this moment. >> i just want to ask you quickly about the tenor of things as you're following representative ryan. there's a "new york times" headline today and it reads while ryan throws hardballs romney makes friends on morning tv. the implication being that paul ryan, he's getting out there and he's doing some really hard work. and it's not necessarily about personality development there. he's just hitting all the issues tough. do you get that sense that that's sort of the m.o., that's what he's been charged with doing? >> traditionally that's the role for the vice presidential candidate. is to go out and swing a big bat at the incumbents. and that's what ball ryan is doing. yesterda

with mitt romney and paul ryan, have they really doubled down on ohio? did you think that campaign thinks it can't win without that state given the historical perspective? >> i do think that. i also believe that i think at one point they didn't think they had a good shot in ohio and were looking at other pathways to 270. look, governor romney got a little bit of a bounce after that first debate. and they've been just kind of working it very hard since then. although i think they've got some trouble in some other places. at this point their campaign said they at this point had north carolina locked up. we know from the polls it's even. so that's all the more reason that they've really got to keep fighting in ohio, although as i think you mentioned in the last segment, president obama is up in ohio. >> yes. he is right now. but karen, you got to admit a lot of the recent polls show the president losing ground in some key states. what are you hearing about the strategy inside the campaign going forward the last ten days now? >> i can tell you both campaigns
